Muneer Katipalla is very shrewd. Instead of talking about dissidence in his party he is talking about dissidence in other parties. In fact CPI-M is a broken house in Dakshina Kannada. Senior leader BM Bhat and many others have been expelled by the party and they are campaigning against the left candidates in this poll. On the other hand Katipalla’s relationship with his own party leaders is not good. A few years ago Katipalla was a chaddi dost of a journalist from Mangalore who is now in Bangalore. Now the same friends have become enemies and they are pulling each others’ legs. Many CPI-M leaders are not happy with Katipalla for many other reasons too.
